Moondog
Moondog and His Friends (10")
2019 repress. Originally released in 1953, this collection of very early Moondog pieces features the same tribal rhythmic impulse as his famed Prestige recordings, but there's an impressive line in chamber music running through these compositions. It's a fantastic collection of recordings from the eccentric genius that was
Moondog. This mini-album features Moondog's pioneering techniques in
tape overdubbing -- he harmonises with himself on voice, double bass and
home-made drums. Touches of his classical music education are
underpinned by his signature and irresistible Native American rhythms.
Epic, prophetic, naive -- seriously lovable music. 10" vinyl only
release.
